Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage, class TOutputMesh, class TInterpolator = itk::LinearInterpolateImageFunction<TInputImage>>
class itk::CuberilleImageToMeshFilter< TInputImage, TOutputMesh, TInterpolator >

This filter uses the 'cuberille' method to convert an implicit surface (image) to a mesh.

The 'cuberille' model was proposed over 30 years ago [1,2]. A basic summary of the algorithm is as follows: step over all pixels, for each pixel determine if it lies on the surface, center a cube on the surface pixel, create quadrilateral faces aligned with the cube (taking care of neighbouring pixels also on the surface), use a gradient descent based method to project cube vertices to iso-surface [3].

Parmeters: (Required) Input: specifies the input image containing the implicit surface for polygonization. Currently, the input must NOT have iso-surface pixels on the edge of the image. If this is the case, you MUST use itkConstantPadImageFilter to pad the edges by at least 1 pixel.

(Required) IsoSurfaceValue: specifies the value of the iso-surface for which to generate the mesh. Pixels equal to or greater than this value are considered to lie on the surface or inside the resultant mesh.

(Optional) GenerateTriangleFaces: specifies whether triangle or quadrilateral faces should be generated. The default is to generate triangle faces.

(Optional) ProjectVerticesToIsoSurface: specifies whether the vertices should be projected onto the iso-surface. If projection is disabled, the resultant mesh exhibits the traditional blocky features. Projection takes roughly half of the algorithm time. The default is to project the vertices.

(Optional) ProjectVertexSurfaceDistanceThreshold: specifies the threshold for the 'distance' from iso-surface during vertex projection. Note that the distance is actually measured in pixel value units (not space). The smaller this value, the closer the vertices will be to the iso-surface. Small values result in longer convergence time (i.e. slower). Values are clamped to the range [0.0, max pixel value]. The default value is 0.5.

(Optional) ProjectVertexStepLength: specifies the threshold for the step length during vertex projection. The smaller this value, the more likely the vertices will end up closer to the surface. Small values cause the projection to take longer to converge. Values are clamped to the range [0.0, large]. The default value is max spacing * 0.25 (expressed in physical space).

(Optional) ProjectVertexStepLengthRelaxationFactor: specifies the step length relaxation factor during vertex projection. The step length is multiplied by this factor each iteration to allow convergence. Values are clamped to the range [0.0, 1.0].The default value is 0.95.

(Optional) ProjectVertexMaximumNumberOfSteps: specifies the maximum number of steps used during vertex projection. The default value is 50.
